Hi John! Frequent updates are Great, though too frequent is not so great. There is a certain update cycle overhead, which makes very frequent updates not so time efficient. For example, every feature-update release requires about 2-3 days of packaging, libraries updates and upgrade-patch development. In most cases a few public beta-releases are nessessary as well. Pre-release testing usually ads a few days, too. In effect, it’s taking about 3-5 weeks to release after feature development lockdown. So, it seems that somewhere between 3 to 6 months is a ideal cycle for a major feature update.

Also, not that frequent updates cause massive secondary overhead - everyone is installing, updating, merging with custom mods; we directly update large/customised client sites; support questions spike; documentation and website needs updates; market listings need editing, etc, etc.
